Asus RT-N16 WAN connection is only 100Mbps

I recently upgraded my internet service from 75Mbps/2Mpbs to 150Mbps/10Mbps. However it appears that my router, which is an Asus RT-N16, is only connecting at 100Mbps so I can only get 2/3 of my ISP download speed. How do I no this? Well the light on my cable modem's port only turns green which indicates 100Mbps rather than blue which indicates 1Gbps. In addition when I plugged the WAN port from my router into a port on my Gigabit switch it also only showed up as 100Mbps. According to documentation this port is supposed to be a Gigabit switch and the WAN-LAN throughput of the router is 141Mbps.

Anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot? Or should I just buy a newer router?

The router is about 2 years old
It is running DD-WRT (not sure which version).
ISP is Rogers Cable Ultimate.
Cable modem is an SMC 3DGN which is set to bridge mode so that it only acts as a cable modem and not as cable model + router.

While Googling I did see at least one other person with this same issue, but I can't find that post now for some reason.
